Cloud Forest Room

B & C in the Cloud Forest Room in DBG's Atrium

One of our granddaughters favorite things to do is visit the "cloud tree" at Denver Botanic Gardens. I love it too. If we're lucky we find ourselves there during one of the frequent "mistings" that occur throughout the day. At those times the room displays an authentic foggy rain forest atmosphere. I've visited rain forests in Brazil, Puerto Rico and Hawaii but I really want to experience the Monteverde Cloud Forest in Costa Rica. At this link you can find information about Cloud Forests--and if there is current activity, the quetzl and hummingbird live cameras will be on.
